    Bunt here with Gasparino behind him?
  2. Hookem2147
    Worked out I guess but we should have gone directly to Boehm
  3. Hookem2147
    Can not let whitehead face this dude. Horrible matchup.
  4. Hookem2147
    Yeah, by all accounts he’s a great kid. Good in the locker room. He can hit too so let’s quit doing dumb stuff like starting Tommy Farmer at DH in a conference game.

    Why was Schuessler randomly banished to the bench? Hitting .337 in 86 AB’s.
  6. Hookem2147
    Gotta spot up when you throw 86.
  7. Hookem2147
    Sounds like an AD masterclass going on in Fayetteville.
  8. Hookem2147
    83 MPH fastball on that homer.
  9. Hookem2147
    It’s nice not throwing 40 pitches in the first inning

    We were the first team to ever win it with 15 wins last year. I wouldn’t call last year’s team shitty but we dicked around in conference play (swept by OU, dropped games at Kansas and Baylor) and still somehow won it. I’d rather win a shitty league than the alternative.

    TCU loses their opener to Cincinnati and OU trails OSU early in game 1. Someone has to win this conference, I guess.

    Get Gasparino out of a prime RBI spot in the order.

    Donewald receiving the call from Beard earlier to cancel the U-Haul reservation

    So Arkansas really let Musselman walk so they could hire Jerome Tang, huh?

    Flipping kickers from Colorado State (gonna assume this is PWO)

    I like Grubbs on Sunday/game 3's just from a mentality standpoint and type of pitcher he is. You see a lot of wild games on Sunday and having someone we can count on to throw quality strikes and eat innings is big. If Whitehead throws well tonight, you can flip him and LBJ next week, which would leave Whitehead on a normal full week's rest and give LBJ 2 extra days between starts and the opportunity to throw multiple bullpens/side sessions. Not ideal to have your Friday starter be a finesse lefty who doesn't break 87 on the radar gun but I've accepted it's kind of where we are.

    For a team that is hitting .304 and slugging over .550, it does sure feel pretty inconsistent. This is the 3rd straight series opener we've faced a starter with an ERA over 6.00 and we have scored a combined 8 earned runs off those starters in 16.2 innings (4.3 ERA) We don't walk a lot (169th nationally) or get hit by a lot of pitches (214th nationally), so we are very dependent on putting the ball in gaps or over the wall. JT and Porter Brown are the only guys with very good walk rates (> 15%). Everyone else is either average to below average to very bad (Gasparino at 5%). As I mentioned last night, it feels like we are either exploding early and putting up a football number or slogging our way through 9 innings against guys we should be pounding. Feels like very few games fall in the middle.

    Beau Ridgeway. The list goes on and on. Could do the same thing on the hitters side probably too. For every Jalin Flores this year there is a Porter Brown this year.
  20. Hookem2147
    There are always going to be success and failure stories pretty much every year with a 40 man roster. For every LBJ there is also a Max Grubbs or Whitehead. LBJ ain’t the first pitcher to regress and won’t be the last. Ask Aaron Nixon. Probably not one specific reason for it. Sad to see however it came about. His final start last year against Stanford where he threw 100 pitches and walked 4 in 4.1 innings was some foreshadowing. They were the first team I remember just completely ignoring his slider/splitter and sitting on the heater.
  21. Hookem2147
    He had quality starts against Washington and Baylor, both games where the lead was coughed up in the late innings. But yes, I get your point. There isn’t anyone to insert into the rotation in this place. Maybe you can push him back a day or two but you have to ride with him.
  22. Hookem2147
    Lucas Gordon was the Big 12 pitcher of the year last year and we went 7-2 in his conference starts. He was a Friday night guy.
  23. Hookem2147
    Feels like it’s either completely explode or struggle against guy with a 6 ERA with very little middle ground.
  24. Hookem2147
    Every time we give up more than like 5 runs we score less than 5. Have we played in a high scoring back and forth 10-8 type game since that finale against Tech?
  25. Hookem2147
    I would not have taken out the lefty. Lets see what happens
